the component he's reviewing to other similarly priced, highly regarded stuff to put the review in perspective. It is time consuming and difficult to get the equipment to be able to do that regularly, so few reviewers today seem to go to the trouble. Some do, and to me that makes their comments even more valuable.As to price inflation, you probably paid more for your new car this year than the one you bought 10 years ago, too. I believe the real improvement in sound for dollar value is in the medium priced High End stuff , say $2000 to $5000 components and speakers where "trickle down" is a reality.
